Countdown to the end of Democracy in the UK on 14:26 - Feb 2 by longlostjack

Please explain how the UK has only been trading with the 27 countries of the EU and will now be trading with all 200 countries in the world.

He's a fücking idiot who thinks we weren't previously allowed to trade with countries outside the EU. He also thinks thinks we can get better deal now we're no longer part of a 300 million-strong trading block. On our doorstep.

Utter fûcking moron. Thick Brexiter in a nutshell.

Claims have been made by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and others that the United Kingdom is legally prevented while it remains an EU member from formally negotiating and concluding post-exit trade agreements with non-member countries.

How on earth are we going to get a better trade deal with countries like Japan than the one the EU have already got ?

Paddy and the rest of the democrats can now sleep happy they know his feelings on democracy are being carried out and the will of the British people has been obeyed despite the losers efforts to stop democracy.

Let's get one thing straight, the population of the EU post-Brexit is 447 million, not 300 million. Anyone think that the UK (population nearly 68 million) is in a position of strength when entering into negotiations on the post-Brexit relationship is a totally deluded fool. We are now into the Gimp phase of Brexit, where we have to accept the rules of the EU without any say in them. Come first January next year we have the choice of continuing to be the EUs Gimp, or Trump's. What a wonderful choice.

The UK had an overall trade deficit of -£66 billion with the EU in 2018. A surplus of £28 billion on trade in services was outweighed by a deficit of -£94 billion on trade in goods. The UK had a trade surplus of £29 billion with non-EU countries.16 Dec 2019.

And? Everybody acknowledges that a hard Brexit will hurt all sides, but it's beyond debate that the UK will be hit harder than EU countries. Stating the obvious (but it obviously needs stating, over and over again) but our trade with all of the remaining 26 EU countries will be impacted by the new trade relationship, whereas the trade of every one of the remaining EU countries with the other 25 EU countries will be unaffected. There is a huge disparity of impact. 44% of our exports are to the EU, whereas only 18% of the EUs exports go to the UK.

Let’s see if Boris the bullshitter gets a deal with the EU on services by the end of the year. I doubt it and that could be a big problem. Still I’m quite happy that he finally owns Brexit.

Read that back slowly mate, pretty childish innit.

Someones in a grumpy mood. I can do serious though. The question was around how we would do better with Japan now we’re out of the EU. I’d be interested to understand how we’ll have greater leverage over Japan than the EU had. The relative sizes of the markets suggest we won’t, but that could be far too simplistic a way of looking at it. And given Japan is already one of our bigger export markets, what realistic gains would be possible versus the new EU-Japan deal we’ve just walked away from?
